Description
How do I map cmd on mac? In the docs I see lots of examples for ctrl as <c-j>
Ctrl, works though when I do this:
"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
{ "before": ["c-j"], "commands": [ "scrollLineDown" ] },
],
I have tried this and it does not work:
"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
{ "before": ["cmd-j"], "commands": [ "scrollLineDown" ] },
],
Thanks for everyone's contributions on this project.

Start with the documented normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive examples and the corresponding cmd-j configuration entry point. Confirm how Command mappings are handled in VSCodeVim on macOS, then update the documentation so the supported syntax and expected behavior are explicit.
